I dont use the front pods and have a replacement 2 pods instead of the tank holder on the back ( so 6ea 180rd pods) I like to crawl on my stomach and 4 pods up front are not comfortable to be laying on.
The map pouch is awesome on the front. I can't say enough good things about this system.

I run with the Tippmann Assault Vest. Lightweight, tons of storage space, velcro waistband to secure the vest to your body to eliminate shifting. 6+2 pod configuration with a horizontal tank pouch. Internal pouch for water bladder. I love this vest and it has served me pretty well. Runs for $99

I don't recommend anything by rap4 except their vests. They meet USMC standards.
Rap4's tac vests are simple, easily customizable, and very easy to strip and clean. They have pouches for everything, and an inside pocket on the back for a camelback. They also have zipper pockets inside for keys, wallets or anything else valuable.

My brother has a RAP4 10-pod vest and loves it. 10 pods is a little much for me; not only is it FREAKING HEAVY but I run out of air right near the end of my 6 pods. I will say, one thing about the RAP4 vest I wish the Flurry had was the front zipper. You don't have to lift the whole vest over your head to put it on; you put it on like a coat and zip it up. A 10-20pound coat, but a coat none-the-less.

It is worth mentioning the Flurry vests have the pocket for the hydration pouch, too.

Valken Zulu Vest...The whole vest is covered in molle web so u can put attachments wherever. my vest holds 22 pods...yes it extremely heavy but in a huge scenario when everyone else has no air and paint guess who they come to....me<---

Valken carries only two vests, ECHO and TANGO. Click the link in my sig to get there.

If you are strapped for cash the ECHO is a great vest for the price. Fits and feels like a xball harness but with the added molle on the shoulder straps for some custimization. $50!!!

the TANGO is a "build it yourself" style vest. Very well put together, room for a camelback, tons of molle pouches to make the right fit for your play style. A bit on the expensive side, however. The vest alone is $70, and after you buy all your pouches you are likely looking at closer to $130.

One of the first vests I owned when starting out in Scenario paintball was the UTG tactical vest. Comes with everything you need to get right into the game, available in six different patterns, and for $40-$50 online you CANNOT beat the price anywhere. The pouches on the front are unfortunately not removeable, but the back is entirely MOLLE straps.
